History[]

Somewhere around the same time as the VSC discussd the merits of raiding Imperial supplies, Admiral Ackbar and Supreme Commander Crix Madine were discussing re-instituting several of the Rebel Alliance-era tactical doctrines of warfare. These discussions ended with the NR's command staff setting a series of evaluation raids into effect to gauge Imperial response to Rebellion-era tactics, as well as allowing the Republic to bolster their stores of several varieties of supplies.

The Imperial Blitzkrieg and subsequent Retribution of Coruscant had left the Republic with a supply shortage and very few avenues with which to replenish their stores, safe or otherwise. Their access to the galaxy's trade routes had been all but cut off. These raids became the quickest solution to their problems.

An Unfortunate Convoy Escort Posted by Gren Delede on March 10, 2007. During a recon mission to gain sensor data on an Imperial shipping lane, an unidentified fighter, piloted by Gren Delede, is intercepted by a pair of TIEs, commanded by Flight Officer Liza Molokai. One very short dogfight later, the situation is resolved.

In what would be the start of many raids, Gren Delede had scouted out an Imperial convoy and moves into to investigate. Accompanying a squadron of Interceptors on a convoy escort mission, Flight Officer Liza Molokai meets Gren Delede while he gathers logs of freighter activity along the Imperial shipping lane. Leaving the convoy carrying fuel and fighter components to investigate the lone fighter with her wingman, Molokai is forced to engage the craft resulting in firefight. After a very brief dogfight, Delede entered hyperspace - scans complete, leaving both TIEs distroyed, Molkai's wingman dead, and Molokai herself in need of being rescued.

Return to Renaal IV Posted by Gren Delede on March 23, 2007. Gren Delede returns to Renaal IV, accompanied by a force of Vigilance Security hired mercenaries. They execute a raid on an Imperial convoy, and once again, Liza Molokai runs afoul of the Cyclopean Rage.

Acting on sensor logs obtained earlier, Gren Delede led a small Vigilance Security Corporation force on a raid against Imperial shipping. It consisted of a pair of hired pilots flying Z96 Headhunters, and an RX4 Light Cruiser, commanded by Delede in his own Z95a Mark II Headhunter. They faced a squadron of TIE MkII's, commanded by Flight Officer Liza Molokai. The convoy was further defended by an Imperial Light Cruiser. The battle was quick, and somewhat inconclusive. Both of the Z96 Headhunters were destroyed, while the Empire lost three MkII's and the ILC. VigSec's primary objective, the convoy, lost only a YT-1300.

Revenge Posted by Liza Molokai on March 27, 2007. With the VSC making another hit on an Imperial supply depot, Liza and her squadron is called into action yet again. Facing off against her nemises, the young pilot finds her luck running warm, allowing her to give Blinky a run for his money.

Fighter losses are equal, but the materials stolen from the depot are barely enough to offset smaller force's losses.

Convoy Lost Posted by Krieg Inrokana on March 30, 2007. The New Republic launches a larger and more daring raid against a larger convoy. This time, they are not out to capture a part of it but the entire thing. The capital scale cruisers on both sides engage as they fighters furball again, making it difficult for the Empire to get away at all.

Raid Outcome: NR Domination: The NR is forced to pull back a Mon Cal Star Cruiser and the RX4, losing several fighters an damaging numerous others during the fight. The Empire is able to evacuate all ships and escape aboard the remaining bulk cruiser.

Captured Materials:

20000 metric tons - Reactor Mass(fuel)
40000 metric tons - Captial Ship Scale Components
10000 metric tons - Prisoners
10000 metric tons - Small Arms
5000 metric tons - Starship Weapons

SPECIAL PLOT NOTE Korynn Fleming and Krieg Inrokana have spoken of the need for new intel, and transports randomly throughout the border regions have had locator beacons installed in them. This convoy had said beacons within them and intel comes shortly as to the NR's actions with the stolen goods.
